International trade sanctions are tightening this week. An armed forces operation targeting sanctioned oil shipments has escalated tension around Iranian energy deals. The seizure of a tanker linked to Venezuelan crude highlights how sanctions regimes continue reshaping global commodity flows. For investors tracking macro risks, geopolitical friction around energy supplies remains a key driver of inflation expectations and cross-asset volatility. Such developments often precede shifts in risk appetite across crypto and traditional markets.

Here we go again, I've been through this whole geopolitical routine before. Remember the 2018 Iran sanctions wave? Do you know how many people bet on oil futures exploding and got liquidated? Now history is repeating itself, and the crypto world has to shake with the risk assets again.

Here comes the geopolitical play again? Every time sanctions are imposed, the crypto world starts to hype wildly. Truly the chosen place for manipulating emotions.

Here we go again with this set of sanctions, sanctions, sanctions. Can't they use different words... Anyway, it's still just an excuse for the crypto world to scam retail investors in the end.
